there was a lot of angst over blocking the view of TD jesus
Other than that I think most people welcomed the expansion. A big plus was that they continued the same sightlines so that it really looks like a seamless structure, instead of hanging another deck over the top. Plus they retained the original walls of the stadium, which makes for a really cool feature when your'e walking around inside. I would say the reaction overall was very positive. There is obviously some criticism of the outer facade styling as being too stark and modern, but that goes along with the same criticism of other campus buildings in the same mode.
